This was my entry for the Chick Challenge 2008, an online contest revitalised and now run by the Italian painting community of the Legio Pictorum forums. You can see the CC official site here: http://www.farabi.it/ChCh/index.htm
I was very surprised to win the 'International Jury Best of Show' award, a real honour for me to win an award in the first year of the new CC comp.
The miniature is a sculpt by Cyril Abati, and I was given this resin copy by Emanuele Giovagnoni (poupee canope) at Francesco's (franciuus) house when I visited Italy last year, so because it already had some 'Italian' history, I thought it might be a nice entry for the new Italian-run CC competition.
The figure itself is very small, true 28mm just like the GW LOTR minis. I tried to paint her in different colours and in a different way to my usual painting, to try to disguise her a little in the anonymous competition (jsut for fun!). Slightly more of a 'cyril' style of painting perhaps, in tribute to the sculptor.

The photos don't even come close to doing this mini justice. It was great seeing it in real life, Sebastian! |

I don't really like the model but this paintjob deserves more than an 8.8, more like 9.8.... |

Another comment on that godlike thing: Looking at the rating it seems that perfection is not allowed and i guess only god knows why... still totally stunned on this perfect paint job ... it feels i dream about it every night... but that's another story i should tell elsewhere on a couch...  ... Keep 'em coming! Regards jar |

I'm not surprised you took the jury prize, this is a gorgeous entry and one of my favourites. Beautiful smooth painting on the main figure and some terrific texturing on the floor and cans. | |
